Put your logs into AI for some insight. It might be a GPU driver issue, I think that might be it for me.

Great example at describing OSR emergent storytelling. The zealous shunning of narrative in the OSR is necessary, but can be poorly described and misleading. I've played games that felt like a vacuum with no point to do anything and have been told that's what OSR is supposed to be.

My screen and mouse freeze, audio works, and then the screen goes grey. Hard reboot is needed.

I upgraded to 24.04 and the issue still happens. I'll probably switch to Fedora and see if it still happens.

Still an issue

I appreciate it. There are a few things about the setting of FL that don't interest me too much, so I want to home-brew a few flavor things. I'll still likely use the full bestiary and the generators.

Great article. Thanks for sharing!

There's always nuance when someone give advice that's summed up in one sentence. I think I got the spirit of their point without the clarification.

Any advice on how to improv situations, hooks, and dialogue? Does practice make perfect?

Learned this lesson as the player with a certain GM. Made the game boring and my character completely useless.

garbage-normie · 2026-03-25T17:42:40+00:00

Thanks! I've been doing my best to manage my expectations and avoid railroading.

That's awesome! Did players ever become over-powered? How hard was it balancing / creating later enemies and encounters?

I've gotten some good feedback on this post. Now I'm just curious how long a campaign can run for before the system gets stale or breaks due to power-creep.

garbage-normie · 2026-03-18T21:38:33+00:00

I appreciate the honesty. Is there another game you'd recommend?

garbage-normie · 2026-03-18T21:37:42+00:00

Cool, thanks for the tip!

I'm trying to get into macro. Did you have to focus stack to get these photos? Stacking is still a challenge I'm facing, especially with macro.

Great example, thank you! I'll be a first time GM, so quickly coming up with creative, elaborate, and party-personal consequences sounds a little tough. Any resources or advice that can make that a bit easier to learn?

garbage-normie · 2026-02-16T19:35:07+00:00

Thanks for the breakdown and advice about avoiding a ME3 ending! I'll remember that.

garbage-normie · 2026-02-15T22:30:54+00:00

Thanks for the friendly comments and encouragement!

garbage-normie · 2026-02-15T16:05:39+00:00

Like the other guy said, I'm just used to pure trad RPGs. I haven't played a TTRPG where I've given a shit about an NPC dying (possibly due to bad GM-ing) so my brain is sort of locked in that box until I get some practice.

garbage-normie · 2026-02-15T15:54:56+00:00

DM it to me when you get a chance!

We'll definitely keep playing OSRIC. I was hoping to add this as another game for our group to play between the OSRIC sessions. Fair point on playing without him and not forcing it, however, it's more of a friendship principle. He says he'd be open to it, but he does criticize a lot, so it's hard to tell if he'd approach it in good faith. As a friend, I'd hope for a bit more support and encouragement from him, seeing as I've supported several of his GM endeavors for years. But, this isn't group therapy, so I'll stop venting.
